Yesterday the Bull-fights began in the Amphi theatre before the gate •of Alcala. They began at ten o'clock in the morning, and lasted till one, and again a second time at five, and continued till four teen bulls were killed. The concourse of people was prodigious, as no entertainment of the kind had been known for several years ; aod the fondness of the Spaniards for these fights approaches almost to madness. Next Saturday these bull-fights will be repeated. • COPENHAGEN, AUG. 20.—The sentence of the Court Martial on those who signed the Copenhagen Capitulation, adjudges some to be shot, some to be dimissed from their employment, and' some toban ishment to the Island' of Bornholm.

They demolished the walls of the houses, and carried away the doors and windows.

SPANISH PA P b,RS. [FROM TU CORUNNA DIARY, SEI.±. VICH (CATALONIA) ; AUG. f2l.—This Junta of Government has just received the following official dispatch from Gerona, which it hastens to commu nicate to the public, in order to satisfy their just desires of knowing the destruction of - the French army • " Immediately on,receiving notice that the enemy had abandoned his camp, and taken a' shameful flight, in two divisions, one, part towards Barcelona, and the other towards Figueras, every po‘r,ible care was taken to pursue them, and to prevent the people from suffering any detriment by them on their march... " DON FRANCISCO DEJWILANS immediately un dertook the pursuit of t hose by the coast ; along with the_ light troops that were undef his command ; and DON JUAN CL.tao - S set off in quest of those who took the road to Figueras, with the peasantry, who put themselves under his orders on the t 6th. This morning the Junta has heard from the coast, that on the arrival of the French yesterday at Calilla and the adjoining towns, the English Frigates, and the Squadron of St. Felece, put them into so hasty a fli , ght, that they were obliged to aban on their artil lery, which consi.ted of six C2IIIIOIIS a d 70 waggons of various stores, part of which they burned. As soon as the people on the coast had notice that the French were marching that way, they immediately signified their route as far as Saint Boy, and it is known that 600 men marched out of St. Coloma, and 400 from Ostalrich, in pursuit of them ; and they likewise inform us, - that in St. Boy 2000 men were in readiness, to prevent the entrance of the enemy into that capital. The success of ibis attempt will be the more probable, as the French are in a state of the. utmost trepidation, From Ampurdant they state, that the French had arrived at Lien, and had imposed upon the people of that town an op pressive contribution of wine and flour. In conse quence of this advice, General Count CALDAQUES had given orders, that a body of troops from Lerida should immediately form a junction with the forces at DE CLAROS, to try to cut them off, and prevent tho people from having to supply the enemy with wine and flour. " As soon as we receive notice of the result of these two Expeditious, we shall give your Excel lency notice thereof. " JULIAN DE BOLIBAl." " Gerona, Aug. 10.

MANRESA, AUG. 24.—The Gazette of Saragossa infortns us that the following persons are named For Deputics. or Representatives or the General Junta of the Kingdom.

French,- to the number of from four to five thousand men, made an attempt to ascend La .Mon - 7 -. tana, with the view either of occupying that height; or of getting,into their hands the plate and other ef- • leas belonging to the celebrated sanauary of Mont serrat. That they might the better accomplish this objeot, they sent ,a spy to the monastery, who brought intelligence that ,the French were engaged with the Patriots at Collvato, situated, on the side of the mountain ; but the domestics belonging to the monastery, far from giving him credit, seized and put him to death, and threw his body into the tor rent of Los Burros. Fifty of them then took up arms, and under the command of the lay-brother F. JOSEPH I fourtmo and three other,Monks, proceeded to place themselves in ambuscade, at a favourable point near Cassa-Macsana. The enemy speedily appeared, and never dreaming of resistance in that quarter, were soon put tO•flight in the utmost dismay and confusion, on finding themselves exposed toa shower of balls, Without perceiving whence they came.— Taking an unworthy revenge, they burnt in .their re treat two buildings belonging to the monastery, and the village of Collvato.
